Very small for a Laphria, not much more than a honey bee.
Some days ago, in Pinus uncinata forest surrounding acid pond in high Pyrenees.

I think Laphria flava.
Sizes can range from simple to double or more.
I collected Pogonosoma maroccanum a size of 11mm.

Wow! Bad year / poor feeding at larval stage?
Thanks Christophe!
